An umbilical hernia creates a soft swelling or bulge near the navel. It occurs when part of the intestine protrudes through the umbilical opening in the abdominal muscles. Umbilical hernias in children are usually painless. Umbilical hernias are most common in infants, but they can affect adults as well.... Children's umbilical hernias often close on their own in the first two years of life, though some remain open into the fifth year or longer. Umbilical hernias that appear during adulthood are more likely to need surgical repair. 3, record 1, English, - umbilical%20hernia

La cure d'hernie ou herniorraphie par laparotomie signifie que le chirurgien fait une incision au niveau de l'abdomen pour replacer l'intestin dans sa position normale. Puis, il referme l'ouverture dans la paroi des muscles de l'abdomen. La faiblesse de la paroi abdominale peut être réparée, à l'aide de points de suture avec l'insertion d'un treillis synthétique qui consolide la réparation. C'est ce que l'on appelle une hernioplastie. 1, record 3, French, - hernioplastie
